In this episode of S&C’s Critical Insights, Michelle Chen, a partner in S&C’s Financial Services Group, and June Hu, special counsel in the Firm’s General Practice Group, provide key takeaways for financial institutions as they navigate environmental, social and governance considerations in 2024.
Michelle and June review key ESG developments in 2023, noting a trend of growing divergence in ESG requirements and expectations at the international, federal and state level. This trend creates uncertainty and challenges for financial institutions.
In light of the uncertainty and rapid developments in the ESG space, Michelle and June offer practical guidance for financial institutions, including the need to continue to closely monitor the changing ESG landscape and to adopt a coordinated approach to compliance in order to mitigate the risks of fragmented and reactive responses.
